About 7 years ago, I got to work on a beautiful book about the life of some of the girls living in Kakuma refugee Camp, northwest of Kenya in the famous Turkana region. UNHCR agreed that it would be valuable to create a school, specially dedicated to girls’ secondary Level education and Working with Morneau Shepell, they built the school in 2013. By the time, only 2% of the eligible refugee children went to secondary school in Kakuma and a minority of these were girls. Morneau Shepell secondary school for girls enrolls studious hardworking girls while also helping the most vulnerable girls in the camp. Told through the voices of some of the young women, the book is a story of friendships between the girls of Kakuma in Kenya and those of Havergal College in Canada, (home of Morneau Shepell) building hope through education.
